> The situation in East Timor is deteriorating rapidly, as a result
> of paramilitary violence armed and supported by the Indonesian
> army. Over a hundred East Timorese civilians have been murdered in
> the last two weeks, and the UN-mediated peace process --including a
> UN-organized vote by the East Timorese -- is in danger.
> More people are being killed than at any time since the 1991 Santa
> Cruz Cemetery massacre, and the spiral of military-initiated
> violence shows no sign of abating.
>
> Although U.S. government policy and media coverage on East Timor
> have improved since 1991, there is much more that they must do to
> help the East Timorese. ETAN is sending this special mailing to our
> 9,000 members to urge you to take action to end the killing, and to
> provide the facts you need to persuade your neighbors and your
> government that this violence can and must be stopped now.
>
> Our collective effort will make a difference!
